Pingo de Azeite
Valério Alves
Drop of Olive Oil
I need a revival
That promotes growth in me
Illuminate my being, make me more willing
I need to cry again
Feel hot tears running down my face
The knees that no longer bent
And the tongue that no longer spoke mysteriously with God
When His providence descends
Everything will become evident with the power of heaven
A drop of olive oil in my lamp will help me
Help me reach heaven
For those who are full, sweetness turns bitter
For those who are lacking, bitterness is tasty
I want to taste the flavor of this honey
For this to happen
I know it's necessary to descend
You have to pay the price to return to the first love
You have to put your mouth in the dust, you have to cry like a child
And by doing so, maybe there is still hope
Even so, it's worth trying
Because I know that the Lord Jehovah
Does not despise the downtrodden and weary man who comes to Him
The weeping may last for a night
The important thing is that joy comes in the morning
